Hopkins Public Schools reserves the right to "approve" or "deny" any volunteer service upon review of the background check returned through ICHAT. The determination will be based upon the individual's fitness to have responsibility for the safety and wellbeing of children. Providing false information, or information contradicting the background check information, is grounds for immediate volunteer denial. By selecting, I agree, to this form, you acknowledge your statements are true and give full consent to complete a name based background check through ICHAT.

For the protection of the children in the school, Hopkins Public Schools is required by law to inquire whether prospective chaperones for an overnight trip have been convicted of a crime related to children. Your agreement indicates assurance that you have not been convicted of such a crime and gives the district permission to conduct a background check with the Central Records Division of the Michigan State Police if we choose to do so. Volunteers are also required to agree to a background check for the sole purpose of obtaining a conviction only criminal history, by the school district, using the school district background consent form. The school district appreciates the work of each volunteer for the time and efforts provided in the assisting in the operation of the schools. The agreement below represents understanding of the agreement to the conditions listed above.
